Oil change hot or cold?

[Dusty ST]

Poor bike hasn't run for a couple of months, I'm thinking I should change the oil next weekend...
I was thinking I should do it cold.
I'd guess the oil has drained down as much as it's going to by now, and I can leave it a couple of days with the sump plug out to drain the dregs.
Any thoughts, should I warm it up first?

Warm up it first. So you can get all sludge and condense water out with oil.

I do mine warm because I have a wee tap instead of a sump plug

Yep, didn't think of that. Warm it is

Best if you can do it when the bikes nice and hot

I run the bike long enough for the oil cooler to be warm to the touch. Any hotter & you burn your fingers when you drop the sump plug in the hot oil after putting them on the hot sump as you took the plug out.

Always warm your oil first, then burn yourself on the hot pipes. Job done. No pain, no gain!!

I do the same, just to warm up oil etc. I also make a funnel out of alfoil to cover the top of my 4-1 headers and direct the flow into the drain tin sooner than have it pour over the headers/collector. I always disconnect the kerb side oil cooler hose to access the filter. I let it drain overnight also.

That's if it's still there after hitting that speed hump.

I quite like the Stahlbus version of this, but it's a tad pricey, looks to be a bit lower profile too?

Would I be right in saying 22mm long.

I cant remember size of thread.

GSX, i know your alfoil funnel works and is cheap but spend $30, Ryco flexi funnel, brilliant thing to have in tool kit.

       got one on mine saves stripping the thread on the sump plug if your heavy handed like me
